      Moreover, Scott is completely unable to process that he himself is a Cool Kid and a bully by the objective definition of the term, or that the things that he does that blatantly constitute ambitious social manipulation could be anything but good-faith intellectual chit-chathttps://twitter.com/chathamharrison/status/1362194266508963840 …

      Not sure how anyone could spend time in a large "nerdy" social group & not accept that there are still Cool Kids & Losers within that group, but that's the kind of mistake you prime yourself for when you convince yourself you're some kind of ascended entity instead of meat & bone https://twitter.com/arthur_affect/status/1362191193040293890 …

      In that screenshot of his rant to Topher Brennan he straight up ADMITS that he courts an openly reactionary/"race-realist" audience because it WORKS Those posts are the ones that get him lots of engagement and new subscriptions

      And this is a good thing for him to do, because the more visibility he has the more influence he has, and he intends to use that influence to promulgate good ideas and rational thinking

      If the rationalists saw anyone they didn't like talking like this they'd pounce all over it Ruthless careerism and social climbing But when it's one of their own doing it it's obviously Objectively Good

      What's obnoxious about this is their worldview *defines* who the Cool Kids are, presuppositionally, and then says *by definition* they are the Underdog Nerds no matter what happens

      It is blatantly obvious that Scott is more of a Cool Kid than Cade Metz, with incredibly powerful millionaires and billionaires declaring themselves fans of Scott who will rain down hellfire to keep his blog going, with Substack paying him six figures for his brain-droppings

      But because Cade Metz works for the NYT, he's "power" and Scott is "speaking truth to power", even though Cade Metz has way less money than Scott, even though his job is way less secure than Scott's, even though he'd have way fewer allies if shit seriously hit the fan than Scott

          The whole thing is that Scott's fans engage in blatant, hilarious doublethink about this constantly The NYT is an incredibly powerful legacy institution all of us quake in fear of It's also "the failing New York Times" that "nobody thinks is relevant anymore -- Sad!"

          Nerds are extremely sore winners Techbros actively control a rapidly-expanding share of the infrastructure underpinning society with unchecked arbitrary power, and they gloat about it constantly And they can't be the bad guys because 25 years ago someone shoved them in a locker

          God remember that horrifically cringey post where Scott says he's not anti-capitalist because he doesn't think money is where the real power in society lies "It's not about money, it's SOCIAL STATUS Don't you understand how frustrating it is no amount of money makes you Cool"

          No, Scott, most people don't understand that, by definition the vast majority of people in this country who don't get paid a six figure salary for *anything* (much less a job like blogging) will ever be in a position to make that argument Christ fuck off
